It’s a beautiful day but the wind forecast prevented us from rounding Cape Caution today. It may be better tomorrow. Or the next day…. Or the day after that. We really don’t know how long we’ll be waiting here. We’ll just monitor the VHF weather channel until it looks good. This is a lovely place to be waiting. This morning Rob, Bill and I went whale watching and again, three whales were actively feeding nearby. I could watch them all day. At low tide, we took the dinghy to a sandy beach where the dogs ran around. Whales were spouting and breaching all around us.
Evening update: The weather planets have aligned and we plan to round Cape Caution tomorrow morning. We will listen to the weather once more at 5:00 a.m. and if it’s still o.k., we’ll promptly set off. It is exactly four weeks ago today that we traveled north around Cape Caution. We feel a little less intimidated this time but we dread a repeat of the seasickness we experienced last time. Tomorrow morning, I plan to take Gravol as soon as it's clear that we are going. Rob is reluctant to take Gravol because it causes drowsiness but for me, I think adrenaline will override the side effects.
